Jason Bateman Learns He’s in Disney World’s New Zootopia Show in Viral Interview

The Animal Kingdom 4D production opened on November 7 at the Tree of Life to bolster the sequel’s park rollout.

Overview

  • A TikTok clip from @georgecbutler shows Jason Bateman appearing surprised to hear his Nick Wilde character features in the Zootopia: Better Zoogether! show.
  • Co-star Ginnifer Goodwin explains the attraction to Bateman and tells him he has a singing part, prompting his joking question about whether he sounded decent.
  • Bateman notes awareness of Shanghai Disneyland’s Zootopia land but not the Florida production, and he appears to initially think it is a ride.
  • Zootopia: Better Zoogether! is a 4D show in Animal Kingdom’s Tree of Life that replaced It’s Tough to Be a Bug, uses animatronics, and reuses several effects from the prior attraction.
  • The show features a Zoogether Day storyline, an Officer Clawhauser Audio-Animatronic, new Nick and Judy meet-and-greets with updated outfits, and a fresh merchandise lineup, with coverage running alongside reports of strong Zootopia 2 box office results.
